What Causes Pain Behind The Breast And In The Shoulders?

I am having pain behind my left breast and back shoulder bone. I had a stress test done to prepare for cataract surgery this coming Wednesday. They said the stress test was fine. Since the stress test, the pain is getting worse. Not constant. But more than a discomfort. Keeps me up at night. In past, I had an ache behind left breast, but it would rarely happen. Now, more often. I am diabetic2 on metformin and all the pills that go with diabetes. Should I be worried, or will it go away?
